THE RAMIE MACHINE.

The Ramie Machine now being
erected by Mr.. Lycan, at Hilo, was so
far completed, as to be run by steam
on Wednesday last, and its working
was highly satisfactory. The delay
in the completion of the machine
was owing to the castings from San
Francisco only arriving by the last
steamer Is it expected that about
the middle of next week the machine
will be completed, when the cleaning
of the ramic will be commenced,
large quantities being already on
hand.
Mr.. Lycan reports that some diff
Guilty is experienced in getting the
natives in and around Hilo to cult
vate the ramie. Olona-or native
ramie, grows in abundance around
Hilo, and this, tho natives are will
ing to supply in large quantities.
The Oloua was put through the
machine and gave satisfactory re-
suits, the fibre being admitted to be
stronger than that of the ramie. A
sample of the Olona, after having
been put through the machine, Can
be seen at the BULLETIN office.

the MAILS,

The Post Office received, by the
Australia, 81 bags OF papers and 3
bags of letters, few minutes before

O'Clock, same day. BY the kindness
of Messrs. Wilder & Co., the steamer
Lehua was detained till 5 o'clock,
and took with her the entire mail,
papers and letters, for the islands Of
Maui and Hawaii, consisting OF Is
bags. Messrs. Wilder & Co. also
ordered the steamer to land the
mails at the several way ports. BY
this mornings mail, the Postmaster
General received a letter from Mr.. G.
G. Williams, OF Spreckelsville, Maui,
conveying his own and the thanks OF
the public for his kindness and
promptness in forwarding the mails,
by which they received their letters
and papers week earlier than they
could have had them by the regular

answering San Francisco and other
foreign correspondents by the return

Shall We Plant Native or For.
eiER TreesS

An editorial in the September
Century closes as follows . We
feel justified ia adding to these gen.
eral statements a word of strong re.
commentator in favor of native as
against foreign. or at least as against
European, trees. At the best the
latter are uncertain in almost every
case, while the former have an INFORM
and a well-proved title to be trusted.
The most successful ornamental
planting that has ever been done in
America shows its results in the
streets Of such towns as Stockbridge,
Great Darlington, Salem and New
Haven. and was the work of men
who went to the forest and not to
the nursery for their infant elus and
naples, Certainly our more recent.
ly planted parks offer small promise
Of a like maturity of beauty with
their European oaks and ashes,
their Scotch and Austrian pines, in
almost as .deplorabte a state as their
Norway epruces. When not orna'
mental but economic plantations are
IN question. past experience tells
very strongly against European
trees, while the evidence of recent
experiment with native trees-as in
the plantations o indigenous conifers
in eastern Maaaachusetts--is of the
most encouraging kind"
The Meridional. (Abbeville, La.) 1856-1906, 1887-09-24

According to a Washington cor.
respondent the officers of the navy
are not particularly pleased with
the decision of the second conptrol-
Ter, which holds that travel be-
tween the United States and Alaska
is foreign travel, and therefore that
no mileage can be allowed for it.
The officers think it but just that
they should receive some considera-
ton when going to Alaska as it is
regarded az the most unpleasant
duty in the service. The fourth
auditor, when the matter was called
to his attention, decided that travel
from the United States to Alaska
was simply as from n port Of the
United States to another. and mile
age could therefore he recovered by
any officer making the voyage under
orders His decision was, however,
reversed.
When presenting a friend with
a brace Of ducks be sure and inform
him that you are afraid they will
spoil on your hands, and he might
as we'll have them. OF course he'll
be gratitied to realize what a warm
interest voa take III saving your
ducks from scoi,ins.

The Hay Industry.

~ 1A~y
ar. 4. Il. Goodrich, a small far
mer residing near town, is this week
making a considerable shipment Of
hailed hay to New Orleans. This
new industry is growing in impor'
lance and to the extent that it has
been carried on has proven remune.
ra.ivc. A correspondent of the
Times emncrat, writing recently
from st. Landry on this subject and
referring to shipments made by Mr..
AIphonse Levy, of Opelousas, said
Mr.. Levy expects to supply no
less than 1000 tons. The hay is
classed by the New Orleans inspec.
tors as Johnson grass, and being ex.
ceediny'y we'll cured, is little if at
all inferior to the best Western bay.
The failure of the latter crop this
season makes the native article still
more in demand. Western hay is
at present quoted at $3.50 per ton
10 New Orleans. The st. Landry
has 80 far sold at once at $3.50 per
ton. and will certainly rise to SIS or
SIT before long. At these prices
the shipper a make a handsome
profit. The total cost per ton. in.
Guiding freight, handling and deliv.
erin:, is about 81. Systematic man.
agement may reduce this amount,
anG under no circumstances need TIE
sum exceed So. Thus even ut the
present quotations $3.50 there is
left a proHt of s. 90 per ton. As
each acre will produce two tons, aud
two cropa can be gathered each
